Il is very delightful to find ones self In one
Of these English country residences. The
house is commonly old, and has history. 1t
is ofteutimes itself q record, like that old
farm house my friend, John Bellows, wrote to
me about, which chronicled half a dozen
reigns by architectural marks Is exactly as If
it had been an official register. ~The stately
homes of England" Is we see them at Wilton
and Longford castle, are not more admirable
in their splendors than ''the blessed homes Of
England in their modest beauty. Every
where one may see there old parsonages by
the side of ivy mantled churches, and the
comfortable mansions where generations OF
country squires have lived in peace, while
their sons have gone forth to fight Englands

can hardly be said 70 have such q possession

brief occupancy by the builders, and possibly
their children, or are modernized 80 that the

at appears 70 me that the true impulse to
ward authorship does not arise from a desire
to please any one. but rather from a strong
consciousness Of something definite TO say,
whether people will listen or not. can hon
estly assert that have never manufacturer
novel, and should do so am sure it would
be SO wooden and lifeless that 10 one would
read it. Ny stories have come with scarcely
any volition on my part, and their characters
control Inc. II l should move them about
like images. they would oe but images In
every book they often acted in a manner just
opposite from what 1 had planned. More
over, there are unwritten stories in my mind
the characters Of which are becoming almost
as real as the people l meet daily. While
composing narratives forget everything and
live in IN ideal world, which, nevertheless, Is
real for the time. The fortunes Of the char
acters affect one deeply, and truly believe
that only as feel strongly will the reader lie
interested. A book, like a bullet, can only go
a. far as the projecting force carries it."
